As he walked out of Hongshan Academy, Tang Wulin’s face was full of unhappiness. The sum of all his troubles in life had never been as much as what he encountered today.

He grew up in a very ordinary family, but it was a harmonious one, with his parents having a good relationship and loving him very much. Even when he made mistakes, they would patiently guide him.

But today at the academy, he experienced “difficulty” for the first time. Because his soul beast was Blue Silver Grass, his classmates shunned him, and even the teacher was not enthusiastic about him.

During the afternoon meditation guidance, the teacher clearly spent the least time with him.

"Is my soul beast really that bad?" The unhappiness on Tang Wulin’s face gradually turned into stubbornness. "Even if my soul beast is not good, I will definitely become a great soul master. Dad said that success is ninety-nine percent effort plus one percent talent. Since my soul beast is not good enough, I will work extra hard!"

He was naturally cheerful, and once he had thought it through, the day’s oppression naturally dissipated.

However, why am I hungry again? Tang Wulin rubbed his stomach in confusion. The academy’s study life included a lunch, and there was no limit to the amount. The soul master class students had much better meals than ordinary students. Tang Wulin ate a lot, so much so that he earned the nickname "rice bucket." The amount he ate was almost equivalent to half of what the other dozen or so students combined. It exceeded the food intake of an adult.

Although his appetite was not small before, it had never been this voracious! Moreover, it was only afternoon, and he was already hungry again.

I’ll go home and look for something delicious. Tang Wulin’s eyes lit up at the thought of food.

As he was walking, a small figure by the roadside suddenly caught his attention.

Although the afternoon sun was not as intense as at noon, the weather was very good, so the sunlight still brought some warmth. What caught Tang Wulin’s attention was a glint of silver under the sunlight.

A little girl was squatting by the roadside, looking even younger than him. She had short silver hair, which naturally reflected the sunlight on her rare hair color.

It seemed as if there was some unseen connection between them. The little girl looked up at him. Her face was dirty, and her clothes were somewhat tattered, making her look like a little beggar. However, apart from her silver short hair, she had a pair of unique eyes.

Her eyes were very large, with pupils like two clear purple crystals. Even from a distance, Tang Wulin could almost see his reflection in her pupils. Her long eyelashes naturally curled upwards.

Tang Wulin’s own eyes were very beautiful, and he naturally felt a liking for his peers with big eyes. He subconsciously stopped in his tracks. Their eyes met, and the little girl did not avoid his gaze, her beautiful large eyes filled with a hint of surprise.

"Little girl, where are your parents?" At this moment, a few rough-looking young men were also attracted by her silver hair and approached the little girl.

The little girl did not look at them and lowered her head again.

The young men exchanged glances, and one of them said, "This silver hair is really rare! She might be from one of the other two continents. The underground black market would probably like someone like her, and her eyes are purple."

The other young men immediately showed a greedy look in their eyes and nodded to each other.

The young man who spoke first squatted down, "Hey, little sister. Where are your parents?"

The little girl lowered her head, shook her head, but did not speak.

The young man smiled and said, "Are you hungry? Big brother will take you to eat something delicious, okay?"

The little girl shook her head again, this time more forcefully.

The young man gave his companions a look, reached out, and grabbed the little girl’s arm, pulling her up from the ground. The others surrounded her, blocking the view from outside.

As the little girl cried out in surprise, the young man already had her on his shoulder.

"What are you doing?" At this moment, a childish angry shout rang out, startling the young men.

When they turned back, they all showed a look of shame and anger. The one who stood up to defend her was actually a small child, shorter than their waist, but very pretty.

A hint of viciousness appeared in the eyes of one of the young men behind, and he kicked Tang Wulin, "Brat, you still dare to meddle in other people’s business."

Tang Wulin was kicked and fell more than two meters away, landing in a dusty mess.

"You bad guys!" He rolled on the ground, immediately got up, and rushed towards the young men, blocking their path.

The young man carrying the little girl showed a fierce look on his face. The commotion had already attracted the attention of some passersby, and this was, after all, on the street.

He flipped his wrist, and a cold, gleaming dagger appeared in his hand, pointing it at Tang Wulin, "If you don’t want to die, get lost!"

Tang Wulin looked at him stubbornly and shouted angrily, "Bad guys will never have a good end. I am a soul master, I’m not afraid of you. Let her go!"

As he spoke, he raised his right hand, and a faint blue light flickered. Blue Silver Grass emerged from his palm, and a faint energy fluctuation spread out.

What can a third-level soul power do? It’s merely a bit stronger than peers. Without the support of a soul spirit or soul ring, the soul beast is far from being able to play a combat role. This is why one must cultivate to the tenth level of soul power to advance from the lowest soul scholar to the soul master realm.

The young man was stunned for a moment, and his companion pulled him.

If it was just an ordinary child, even if they did something, as long as they covered it up properly, they might not get into trouble. However, a child with soul power is different. These children are specially recorded by the authorities, and even registered in the Spirit Tower. If something happened to such a child, the federal government would certainly investigate the cause with great effort, which would be a big problem. Besides, they had already been seen by many people here.

"Bad luck!" The leading young man grumbled in frustration, put the little girl down, and quickly ran away with his companions.

The little girl stumbled and sat on the ground. Tang Wulin hurriedly ran over, squatted beside her, and said, "Don’t be afraid, I’m a man, I will protect you!"

The little girl looked up at him. Up close, her large purple eyes were even more beautiful, and a layer of mist seemed to form in her pupils.

"Don’t cry, don’t cry. The bad guys have been chased away. My name is Tang Wulin, what’s your name?"

The little girl was stunned for a moment and finally spoke for the first time, "My name is Naer."
